Julien Danjou 8229941dcf Add nova_notifier notification driver for nova
This adds a new notification driver to be used by nova in order to intercept
instance deletion message before the instance is deleted. With this, we are
able to poll an instance about to be deleted before it disappers and
therefore not miss any meter.

This fixes bug #1005944

================================================
Installing and Running the Development Version
================================================
Ceilometer has four daemons. The :term:`compute agent` runs on the
Nova compute node(s) while the :term:`central agent` and
:term:`collector` run on the cloud's management node(s). In a
development environment created by devstack_, these two are typically
the same server. They do not have to be, though, so some of the
instructions below are duplicated. Skip the steps you have already
done.
.. _devstack: http://www.devstack.org/
Configuring Devstack
====================
.. index::
double: installing; devstack
1. Create a ``localrc`` file as input to devstack.
2. Ceilometer makes extensive use of the messaging bus, but has not
yet been tested with ZeroMQ. We recommend using Rabbit or qpid for
now.
3. Nova does not generate the periodic notifications for all known
instances by default. To enable these auditing events, set
``instance_usage_audit`` to true in the nova configuration file.
4. The ceilometer services are not enabled by default, so they must be
enabled in ``localrc`` before running ``stack.sh``.
This example ``localrc`` file shows all of the settings required for
ceilometer::
# Configure the notifier to talk to the message queue
# and turn on usage audit events
EXTRA_OPTS=(notification_driver=nova.openstack.common.notifier.rabbit_notifier,ceilometer.compute.nova_notifier)
# Enable the ceilometer services
enable_service ceilometer-acompute,ceilometer-acentral,ceilometer-collector
Running the API Server
======================
.. index::
double: installing; API
::
$ ceilometer-api
.. note::
The development version of the API server logs to stderr, so you
may want to run this step using a screen session or other tool for
maintaining a long-running program in the background.
